Desktop bookmarks (such as Netflix)
So, I found Netflix in desktop mode (not sure how-I find the interface extremely frustrating. So, I thought I saved it as a favorite/bookmark. Now I can't find that (or even get Firefox open for that matter)... what am I missing every time I go to desktop mode?

Go to Discovery through the application launcher in the bottom left and type in firefox. Install it (or re-install it).
Once the firefox icon is on your desktop click it and open it. Search for and log into Netflix as usual through the browser. Once you are logged in, at the end of the address bar at the top of firefox click the star to bookmark the Netflix page.
So now when you open firefox from the executable Netflix should appear in the top left next to Import bookmarks. Clicking it should open netflix where you can log in or jump straight to watching something if you told firefox to save the password.

If you can see firefox in the application launcher menu, right clicking it will also give you the option to add to taskbar or desktop or even Steam as a non steam program.

you could also try this version. imo its more convenient (at least in a more "typical" pc).. you can choose one website as default, and it will load it in its own window.

it works also with youtube and twitch, youtube and floatplane, but i use it only for netflix; this also includes a few extreas for netflix, like allowing to playback at faster speeds, like youtube.
